KoRn Discrimination

Sun, Oct 30, 2011 at 3:27 PM

How do you feel when people criticize your taste in Listening to Korn? It seems Korn (band) gets bashed frequently for some of these reasons:

- Metal fans dislike them cause they're not Metal enough
- Hip-Hop fans dislike them cause they're not Hip-hop enough
- The term Mallcore freqently used..
- or they use the excuse that they are for teenagers to listen to..!?

its fucking annoying. Korn is here to stay, I don't see myself not stopping anytime soon from listening to them (im 23)

What are your feelings on Korn bashing?? and where do you think all the hate came from..?It feels like something...no, it's nothing

It really pisses me off when people talk badly about KoRn. They are so much more than just a band to me.. Their music speaks to me.. It has helped me get through so much shit. I couldn't even thank them enough for all that they have done for me!Haley J Schmidt

I don't think the haters antagonise Korn because of any sense of directed animosity. I imagine they do it because they enjoy it. Personally, I enjoy engaging them on the subject. They can be funny, and they add variety. Besides, If there weren't any haters out there, who would we antagonise?

But enough about the haters, let's talk about us. A lot of Korn fans seem very quick to take any anti-Korn sentiment as personal attacks. I've seen a few Korn fans vs. haters threads over the years, and they've all looked more like crankfests than anything productive. Also, while the community here is relaxed enough, elsewhere I've had a few discussions with other Korn fans over the years where people almost go out of their way to be hostile and competitive, even though there were no actual haters present. It feels like it's very easy to set some people off, and sometimes it's seemed impossible to avoid stepping on their landmines, in a manner of speaking.

I hardly think the haters really know Korn or us well enough to hit the target. Giving the issue any more attention than it deserves tends to get in the way of the things we enjoy in life or wish we were doing. Enjoy the music.

For You, for me and for other "KoRn kids" KoRn is lifestyle. It's almost 20 years of following for most and 17 for me. Only family and own habits are closer. For others KoRn means just a band. I think it's normal.
But what is really fckn' bllsht is to impose their views n' write n' tell everywhere some bad things. Even worse if you're a music critic and actually you just think you are. Don't like - So What! Don't tell anybody bout it!
